From top, left to right:
1. I originally started this off on a small plastic Breyer stablemate. Annoyingly (which is why I don't often start with the body first), the head got a little too big for the body.
2. My new, larger horse body arrives in the mail! Her tail's broken off, but I was going to make a new one anyways, so that's fine. I started adding a little clay to smooth out her contours.
3. Sawing away at the neck. At this point her skull wasn't tall enough either.
4. Horse's head chopped off, mane also sawed off and gaps filled in (more bulk added to the body too). I made a rough foil 'torso' and superglued it onto the shoulders before covering it in clay.
5. After coating with clay, boobs and shoulders and neck details added. Head was also attached and made a bit taller.
6. First tail. Also, bun in hair.
7. RAAAARRRGH
8. There's the second tail, which I still wasn't happy with (the first tail with more hair overlaid on top of it, basically). Also, um, dismemberment.
9. A shorter, narrower-shouldered torso and a new tail (#3) later! Ahhhhh. <|D

Hm. It's roughly comparable to Super Sculpey in price, I believe, although you'll have to pay shipping since I'm not sure if they have any kind of store distribution. Probably not really cost-effective for huge applications, and it can get a little heavy in super thick applications, but if you can pad out the form with foil, or paper, or some other kind of filler material you'll have a pretty light and durable sculpture.
